Judge 2	Nose is a bit tired and developed looking and this carries through to the palate. Sweet finish.
Judge 3	Colour and golden nose, RS impression and palate lacks energy and focus.
Associate Judge	ripe mango lolly, med intensity on nose- touch of mint on first visit, remains on second visit, quite dominant - palate is rich with overripe fruits, not quite cloying. a riper example overall but has good integrity
